Private Label Food in Taiwan: Process, MOQ, Labeling and Export to North America

Quick Answer

Private label food in Taiwan follows six steps: choose products → confirm recipe or specs → design packaging → sample → produce → export. Common items include bubble tea ingredients, tea bags, jams and pastries (pineapple cakes, mooncakes). MOQs vary by item. For North America, packaging must meet US FDA or Canadian CFIA labeling rules (English or English–French, nutrition facts, allergens).
